It is tempting to think of "files and directories" of the current
directory as valid inputs to the add and set subcommands of git
sparse-checkout. However, in non-cone mode, they often aren't and using
them as potential completions leads to *many* forms of confusion:
Issue #1. It provides the *wrong* files and directories.
For
git sparse-checkout add
we always want to add files and directories not currently in our sparse
checkout, which means we want file and directories not currently present
in the current working tree. Providing the files and directories
currently present is thus always wrong.
For
git sparse-checkout set
we have a similar problem except in the subset of cases where we are
trying to narrow our checkout to a strict subset of what we already
have. That is not a very common scenario, especially since it often
does not even happen to be true for the first use of the command; for
years we required users to create a sparse-checkout via
git sparse-checkout init
git sparse-checkout set <args...>
(or use a clone option that did the init step for you at clone time).
The init command creates a minimal sparse-checkout with just the
top-level directory present, meaning the set command has to be used to
expand the checkout. Thus, only in a special and perhaps unusual cases
would any of the suggestions from normal file and directory completion
be appropriate.
Issue #2: Suggesting patterns that lead to warnings is unfriendly.
If the user specifies any regular file and omits the leading '/', then
the sparse-checkout command will warn the user that their command is
problematic and suggest they use a leading slash instead.
Issue #3: Completion gets confused by leading '/', and provides wrong paths.
Users often want to anchor their patterns to the toplevel of the
repository, especially when listing individual files. There are a
number of reasons for this, but notably even sparse-checkout encourages
them to do so (as noted above). However, if users do so (via adding a
leading '/' to their pattern), then bash completion will interpret the
leading slash not as a request for a path at the toplevel of the
repository, but as a request for a path at the root of the filesytem.
That means at best that completion cannot help with such paths, and if
it does find any completions, they are almost guaranteed to be wrong.
Issue #4: Suggesting invalid patterns from subdirectories is unfriendly.
There is no per-directory equivalent to .gitignore with
sparse-checkouts. There is only a single worktree-global
$GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout file. As such, paths to files must be
specified relative to the toplevel of a repository. Providing
suggestions of paths that are relative to the current working directory,
as bash completion defaults to, is wrong when the current working
directory is not the worktree toplevel directory.
Issue #5: Paths with special characters will be interpreted incorrectly
The entries in the sparse-checkout file are patterns, not paths. While
most paths also qualify as patterns (though even in such cases it would
be better for users to not use them directly but prefix them with a
leading '/'), there are a variety of special characters that would need
special escaping beyond the normal shell escaping: '*', '?', '\', '[',
']', and any leading '#' or '!'. If completion suggests any such paths,
users will likely expect them to be treated as an exact path rather than
as a pattern that might match some number of files other than 1.
However, despite the first four issues, we can note that _if_ users are
using tab completion, then they are probably trying to specify a path in
the index. As such, we transform their argument into a top-level-rooted
pattern that matches such a file. For example, if they type:
git sparse-checkout add Make<TAB>
we could "complete" to
git sparse-checkout add /Makefile
or, if they ran from the Documentation/technical/ subdirectory:
git sparse-checkout add m<TAB>
we could "complete" it to:
git sparse-checkout add /Documentation/technical/multi-pack-index.txt
Note in both cases I use "complete" in quotes, because we actually add
characters both before and after the argument in question, so we are
kind of abusing "bash completions" to be "bash completions AND
beginnings".
The fifth issue is a bit stickier, especially when you consider that we
not only need to deal with escaping issues because of special meanings
of patterns in sparse-checkout & gitignore files, but also that we need
to consider escaping issues due to ls-files needing to sometimes quote
or escape characters, and because the shell needs to escape some
characters. The multiple interacting forms of escaping could get ugly;
this patch makes no attempt to do so and simply documents that we
decided to not deal with those corner cases for now but at least get the
common cases right.

The "set" and "add" subcommands of "sparse-checkout", when in cone mode,
should only complete on directories. For bash_completion in general,
when no completions are returned for any subcommands, it will often fall
back to standard completion of files and directories as a substitute.
That is not helpful here. Since we have already looked for all valid
completions, if none are found then falling back to standard bash file
and directory completion is at best actively misleading. In fact, there
are three different ways it can be actively misleading. Add a long
comment in the code about how that fallback behavior can deceive, and
disable the fallback by returning a fake result as the sole completion.

_git_sparse_checkout() was checking whether we were in cone mode by
checking whether either:
A) core.sparseCheckoutCone was "true"
B) "--cone" was specified on the command line
This code has 2 bugs I didn't catch in my review at the time
1) core.sparseCheckout must be "true" for core.sparseCheckoutCone to
be relevant (which matters since "git sparse-checkout disable"
only unsets core.sparseCheckout, not core.sparseCheckoutCone)
2) The presence of "--no-cone" should override any config setting
Further, I forgot to update this logic as part of 2d95707a02
("sparse-checkout: make --cone the default", 2022-04-22) for the new
default.
Update the code for the new default and make it be more careful in

If, in the root of a project, one types
git sparse-checkout set --cone ../<TAB>
then an error message of the form
fatal: ../: '../' is outside repository at '/home/newren/floss/git'

One of the tests in t6301 verifies that the reference backend correctly
warns about the case where a reference points to a non-existent object.
This is done by writing the object ID into the loose reference directly,
which is quite intimate with how the files backend works.
Refactor the code to instead use `test-tool ref-store` to write the
reference, which is backend-agnostic.
There are two more tests in this file which write loose files directly,
as well. But both of them are indeed quite specific to the loose files
backend and cannot be easily ported to other backends. We thus mark them
as requiring the REFFILES prerequisite.

We have multiple tests in t5551 that write thousands of tags. To do so
efficiently we generate the tags by writing the `packed-refs` file
directly, which of course assumes that the reference database is backed
by the files backend.
Refactor the code to instead use a single `git update-ref --stdin`
command to write the tags. While the on-disk end result is not the same
as we now have a bunch of loose refs instead of a single packed-refs
file, the distinction shouldn't really matter for any of the tests that
use this helper.

In t14013, we have various different tests that verify whether certain
diffs are generated as expected. As much of the logic is the same across
many of the tests we some common code in there that generates the actual
test cases for us.
As some diffs are more special than others depending on the command line
parameters passed to git-diff(1), these tests need to adapt behaviour to
the specific test case sometimes. This is done via colon-prefixed magic
commands, of which we currently know "failure" and "noellipses". The
logic to parse this magic is a bit convoluted though and hard to grasp,
also due to the rather unnecessary nesting.
Un-nest the cases so that it becomes a bit more straightfoward. The
logic is further simplified by removing support for the "failure" magic,
which is not actually used anymore.

proper reference and doesn't even follow the loose reference format, so
it is not a good candidate for the logic under test.

We have a bunch of tests in t1400 that check whether we correctly read

But while some of them do indeed exercise very specific edge cases in
the reffiles backend, most of the tests exercise generic functionality
that should be common to all backends.
Unfortunately, we can't easily adapt all of the tests to work with all
backends. Instead, split out the reffile-specific tests from the ones
that should work with all backends and refactor the generic ones to not
write to the on-disk files directly anymore.

Instead of the fixed "<oldbase> <branch>" arguments, the replay
command now accepts "<revision-range>..." arguments in a similar
way as many other Git commands. This makes its interface more
standard and more flexible.
This also enables many revision related options accepted and
eaten by setup_revisions(). If the replay command was a high level
one or had a high level mode, it would make sense to restrict some
of the possible options, like those generating non-contiguous
history, as they could be confusing for most users.
Also as the interface of the command is now mostly finalized,
we can add more documentation and more testcases to make sure
the command will continue to work as designed in the future.
We only document the rev-list related options among all the
revision related options that are now accepted, as the rev-list
related ones are probably the most useful for now.
